Okay--this is something I've not come across before, and I can see only one thing to do.

Keira--commercial postings,such as your link, are not allowed here.

Normally I would simply delete the link from your (or any) post while leaving the writer's thoughts, but in this case when I tried to Edit, the link didn't show up. So I am going to re-post your writing, then delete your entire original post. If you or anyone has a better solution, please post it here.

KEIRA'S POST: A buddy used to quality secondary school entry articles and one of her most favorite was when a author talked of his or her "self of steam".

Why all the sics? Singular (non-gender-specific) they has been in use continuously for about 600 years. Chaucer, Shakespeare, the King James Bible, Austen, et alia have all used it. Nothing new and certainly nothing wrong grammatically.
